The Gaelic people of the Ultraman Tiga world

Page 103

Lu Xuan could clearly sense that some kind of dark power was continuously emanating from the study, affecting the surrounding environment and creatures.

"I see!"

Feeling a strange chill as well, Daigo stared intently in the direction of the study.

Since being awakened by the Tiga Crystal and having his ancient genes activated, Daigo has not yet mastered the same telekinesis as Lu Xuan.

However, his perception of dark power far surpassed that of his opponent by many times.

In Daigo's eyes at this moment, the Iwama family's study was like the abyss of the Dark God's ruins, constantly exuding an aura that made people tremble and fear.

......................................................................................................

"Have you... always interacted like this?"

She watched Lu Xuan's retreating figure until he completely entered her husband's study.

Mrs. Iwama, who hadn't spoken since going upstairs, suddenly asked Daigo in a low voice.

"what?"

For a moment, Daigo was caught off guard and turned to look at the languid yet uniquely charming Mrs. Iwama.

"What I mean is, do you ever feel that your partner is sometimes too cold?"

Unable to resist raising an eyebrow, Mrs. Iwama decided to ask in a different way.

"Haha, don't mind that guy's behavior just now. He's just that kind of person who's all bark and no bite."

Dagu scratched the back of his head and quickly gave Lu Xuan a way out.

"Speaking of which, what's the story behind your and your daughter's hereditary diseases?"

Is your daughter home now? Why haven't we seen her show up?

Daigo was clearly making conversation out of nothing, but Mrs. Iwama's expression was surprisingly gentle, no longer showing the assertiveness she had shown when facing Lu Xuan.

"That's a hereditary heart condition..."

“My grandma has one, I have one, and my daughter has one too.”

A slight smile played on her lips as Mrs. Iwama spoke of this matter, her eyes filled with complex emotions that Daigo could not fathom.

"Although I have long been prepared for death, I do not want my daughter to follow in my footsteps."

"So all these years, I have been looking for a treatment that can cure this kind of hereditary heart disease."

“It was at this very moment that my husband found Galvin and helped us survive with an ‘artificial heart’.”

Upon hearing this, Daigo fell silent.

He never imagined that the seemingly healthy woman in front of him had recently been suffering from a hereditary heart disease.

Especially when he heard that it was the Galvin Corporation that cured him and his mother, Daigo felt a strange sense of pride and relief.

This sense of belonging, sharing both honor and disgrace, made Daigo realize once again Lu Xuan's current importance.

“Although my daughter also had an artificial heart implanted, she was born weak and sickly and is now resting in her room.”

Unaware of what Daigo was thinking, Mrs. Iwama simply glanced affectionately at her daughter's room before asking a new question.

"Daigo, have you seen any of my directorial works?"

Mrs. Iwama's sudden change of topic left Daigo dumbfounded once again.

He found that Mrs. Iwama's thoughts were too disjointed, and he couldn't keep up with her pace at all.

In response, Daigo believes that this might be a common trait among all artists.

However, Lady Iwama's question unexpectedly stumped Daigo.

"Well, I've seen part of it."

Daigo gave an awkward laugh; he had indeed read Mrs. Iwama's works.

But as a young man who enjoys surfing the internet, Daigo reads more of the online criticisms of her various works.

Mrs. Iwama is indeed a frequent guest at film festivals and variety shows, and she has indeed made many well-known films.

But aside from the title of "famous director".

Mrs. Iwama is more famous for being known as the "Queen of Bad Movies".

Compared to other directors who cherish their reputation, Mrs. Iwama seems to care little about her own.

Whether it's a good film or a bad film, Mrs. Iwama will take on any film that can make money without hesitation.

Even on some variety shows, Mrs. Iwama has openly stated that movies are simply a means for her to make money.

"Looks like you've seen those terrible movies I made."

Seeing through Daigo's thoughts at a glance, Mrs. Iwama smiled again without any hesitation.

"Don't you understand?"

"Why would a director of my caliber accept a script that's obviously going to be a bad movie?"

Daigo shook his head decisively in denial. He may not have known the reason before, but now he understood it perfectly.

"Madam is right about one thing!"

"Movies are just a means of making money, just like how I'm standing here right now."

"Although I don't know how much your and your daughter's daily medical expenses were before the 'artificial heart' was implanted, I imagine it was definitely not a small amount."

"In this situation, being able to make money with your own abilities and reputation is a skill in itself."

Hearing Daigo's sincere tone, Mrs. Iwama, who was originally planning to explain something, froze on the spot.

Mrs. Iwama could tell that Daigo's words were not meant to flatter her; he genuinely believed it.

"It seems I underestimated you before. You're actually not much worse than your partner."

With a soft sigh, Mrs. Iwama spoke frankly.

"Now that I've reached this level of status, besides myself, I have a large number of people who depend on me for their livelihood."

"Therefore, most of the time, I don't mind using my reputation to earn some money for baby formula for those old folks."

Mrs. Iwama paused slightly at this point.

"Similarly, I will do anything to keep my daughter and me alive."

Blinking, Daigo could understand Mrs. Iwama's choice, but he didn't understand why she would say these things to him.

However, before Daigo could continue to ponder the reasons,

Mrs. Iwama, however, acted as if nothing had happened and abruptly changed the subject again.

"Daigo, has anyone ever told you that you are actually very 'dazzling'?"

Chapter 165 The Dark Egg

"There is indeed something fishy about it."

Almost the instant Lu Xuan stepped into the study.

The dark power he had sensed vanished instantly, as if it had never existed.

Unfortunately, Lu Xuan was not fooled by this trick and immediately activated the quantum scanning function of his watch.

This quantum scanning was originally a basic function of Omnitrix for scanning, analyzing, deciphering, and storing the DNA of other species.

However, this only requires a slight modification to the internal programs of Omnitrix.

This quantum scanning function can also become the most powerful reconnaissance device, automatically scanning and analyzing any abnormal locations.

The most unusual thing in this study was undoubtedly the safe behind the bookshelf.

Despite the safe's disguise, it was completely ineffective against Omnitrix's most powerful scanning capabilities.

"Is it right here?"

Gently pushing aside the bookshelf blocking his way, Lu Xuan frowned as he looked at the safe encrypted with a combination lock.

The reason this combination lock was chosen is because it is a semi-military product of a company under the Galvin Group.

The fact that Iwama Joe was able to obtain a safe of this caliber suggests that he was indeed very aware of the danger posed by the head.

"But the key issue is that this safe has been forcibly opened."

Lu Xuan muttered something to himself, having no doubt about his judgment.

While Galvin's safes possess strong encryption capabilities, this does not mean they are foolproof.

To this end, Galvin deliberately created a "flaw" in the safe's combination lock, ensuring that any forced opening would leave a mark on the lock.

The person who forced open the safe was clearly unaware of this, which is why they overlooked the marks on the combination lock.

"It wasn't Iwama Takashi, yet he was able to enter this study and forcibly open the safe."

He subtly rolled his eyes.

Lu Xuan felt that there couldn't be any other possibility besides the members of this family.

So now the question is, which member of the family forced open the safe?

Is it Mrs. Iwama who seems somewhat abnormal from beginning to end?

Or perhaps it's the daughter of the rock who never showed her face.

"AI, can you directly crack the combination to this safe?"

After a brief moment of thought, Lu Xuan raised his wristwatch and asked in a low voice.

Unless absolutely necessary, Lu Xuan did not intend to use violence to forcibly break into the safe.

After all, Gailwin Corporation is now a well-known and reputable large corporation, so Lu Xuan naturally wouldn't mind protecting the company's reputation and product quality to the best of his ability.

"No problem. This combination lock is just a semi-electromechanical lock with 7,600 trillion possibilities. It's not difficult to crack."

After a simple data calculation, the AI ​​deciphered the code and transmitted it to Lu Xuan via the wristwatch.

Without hesitation, Lu Xuan opened the safe and immediately saw the model head inside.

Just as Mrs. Iwama had described earlier, the head looked like an ordinary mannequin head.

Aside from the fact that the shape is incredibly lifelike.

Judging from the material alone, there is nothing special about it.

However, Lu Xuan was not fooled by this seemingly ordinary appearance.

Putting aside the dark aura I sensed earlier at the entrance.

The fact that this safe was forcibly opened is enough to prove that the model head is not as simple as it seems.

"So, was this model head put back in?"

Despite the safe showing signs of being forcibly opened, the human head model stored inside was still intact.

Lu Xuan did not believe that the "thief" had taken pity on him by not taking the human head model.

If that's the case, then only two explanations remain.

The first explanation is that the "thief" simply couldn't take the head model with him.

The second explanation is that the "thief" has achieved his goal and quietly returned the head model.

The latter is clearly more likely than the former.

I hate this feeling of constantly playing a guessing game!

With just a thought, Lu Xuan caused the human head model inside the safe to fly out automatically.

Lu Xuan didn't want to touch the obviously unlucky human head model directly; he needed more clues to analyze the "truth" behind it all.

What Lu Xuan never expected was that almost the instant the human head model took off...

A massive dark force surged forth once more, and the once lifelike human head model instantly cracked open.
